Climate change will affect where crops can be grown in the future. Plant and Food Research has developed models to map how suitable areas around the country currently are, on a scale of 0 to 1. These combined several identified criteria based on their relative importance. We used simulated climate data as model inputs to forecast how suitability will change in the future, for two Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) which are scenarios for greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations in the atmosphere:
